My little fish

On Carter's last day of swim lessons I decided to take pictures of this little fish of mine and I ended up turning it into a post. Carter had one previous year of mom and me lessons when I was prego with Lincoln (at 21-22 months old) and haven't done formal lessons with him since. He actually remembered quite a bit from his mom and me lessons and last year I just worked with him on my own. He is NOT afraid of water whatsoever and will jump into the deepest water no questions asked. It can be kind of scarey sometimes. I decided to put him into level 2 swim lessons and just skip level 1 because I thought he could probably pull it off. Sure enough, he did. The teacher never even questioned me moving him up. He did awesome and learned how to float on his back and roll, swim the breaststroke, tread water, and several other things. I'm going to continue to work with him on my own the rest of the summer so he'll be ready for next years lessons and maybe somewhere down the line I can put him on swim team if that's something he wants to do.
